FAI Farms has introduced an innovative approach with the launch of its myshrimp.farm website, showcasing what the company claims to be the world’s first shrimp welfare assessment protocol.
This user-friendly platform serves as a comprehensive resource hub, providing valuable insights, guidelines, and practical solutions to optimize welfare in shrimp aquaculture.
FAI Farms aims to empower a diverse range of stakeholders, including shrimp farmers, processors, retailers, and researchers, by offering the latest scientific knowledge and practical tools to enhance shrimp welfare throughout all life stages.
Chief Technology Officer Ralf Onken emphasized the ethical imperative and essential nature of prioritizing shrimp welfare for the long-term sustainability of the industry. In response to growing consumer concerns about the well-being of farmed animals, FAI Farms adopts a “bottom-up approach,” aligning farmer profit with animal welfare.
The website features FAI’s welfare assessment protocol and offers an online training course on shrimp welfare, available in multiple languages. FAI Farms remains dedicated to supporting shrimp farmers in adopting sustainable and welfare-conscious practices to meet the increasing demand for ethical aquaculture.
